About MSTECH ...
MSTECH is proudly powered by a highly dedicated, extremely experienced, and slightly over-caffeinated team of one. For over three decades, I've been building solutions to real problems - usually the kind that make you think - "There has to be a better way" ... If it didn't exist, I built it. If it existed but was bloated or slow, I built a better one.
Everything I do ...
Most MSTECH apps were born out of necessity. When iOS6 replaced Google Maps and Street View vanished, Street Browser brought it back - because getting lost should be optional. New Tab Start Page replaced multiple bulky extensions with one small, fast, no-nonsense solution. No clutter. No drama. It just works. Revolutionary, right?
Platforms & Development ...
I've developed applications for Windows, macOS, Linux, and iOS using Java, C, MySQL, and whatever else gets the job done properly. I've also configured business servers, optimized systems, and rescued home networks from mysterious "it was working yesterday" situations.
Beyond Programming ...
I build websites from the ground up - hand-coding HTML, CSS, and JavaScript back when that meant staring at a blank file and knowing exactly what to type. I also enjoy photo editing, graphic design, and 3D modeling - because good solutions should also look great!
